Curriculum Updates:

Student of the Day starts on Monday. If you didn't receive a note with your child's day last week, please let me know and I will send another sheet. This is a great way to get to know our classmates at the beginning of the year.

Readers Workshop: We are working on workshop routines and keeping ourselves reading during independent reading time. We are also working on previewing books and partner conversations.

Writers Workshop: Students are writing true, small moment stories. These are one time stories, such as the time I lost my first tooth or the time I fell off my bike.

Math Workshop: We have been setting up our math routines and learning how to use our math tools. 

Social Studies: Last week we talked about our hopes and dreams for second grade. This week we will be brainstorming rules to help us reach our hopes and dreams. 

Science: We will be starting our Butterfly unit this week. We'll be learning about the life cycle of butterflies and what they need to live and grow. 

Thanks for all you do to help and support your child. If you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns, please let me know!

Have a great  week!
